Blake Lively attends Met Gala hours after settling 'It Ends With US' lawsuit
Blake Lively walked the Met Gala red carpet hours after she and Justin Baldoni agreed Monday to settle their legal dispute over the acrimonious 2024 film It Ends With US. Lively sued Baldoni, accusing him of conspiring with publicists to destroy her reputation during the film's production, and the settlement ends nearly two years of litigation. The deal closes a high-profile legal fight tied to a major 2024 release and returns focus to the film and both actors' careers.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled her workplace sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit two weeks before it was set to go to trial. I’m relieved we don’t have to do Depp v. Heard again and I’m glad that her suit exposed a Hollywood smear machine that also influences politics and beyond.
amy brown29oh thank god, I cannot see another picture of that man's smug face
TruelyEsoteric22I am not a Blake Lively fan, but the grossness of that man made me cheer for her.
Daniel McFee19I had never heard of Justin Baldoni and I hope to never see his name again.
jimothy15but lucky for us we now know the level of Gross Creep of everyone who seeks out his crisi pr firm www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/n...
Sailesh12I’m glad that we don’t have to see streamers give surface level commentary on what was likely to be a complex trial with many competing biases at play. It’d be Depp v Heard all over again, but with an emboldened anti-women ecosystem.
Tobirose7Finally It Ended With Them
tracycouch.bsky.social5I really hated that movie. He was incredibly creepy. I wasn’t at all surprised when their conflict IRL came to light. It was like he made it so he could play himself IRL.
Ross2Just in time for Met Gala. Who needs billionaires influencing anything.
In a joint statement, lawyers for the actors said they hoped the settlement would bring "closure." n.pr/4tQn0mN
It did end with them after all
topiltzin.bsky.social5Why should anyone but them care one bit. Look at this fucking world.
momtrex.bsky.social2Fuck the Daily Mail who daily published shit against Blake lively I don’t know what the hell happened, but man they went after that girl with daggers
Eclectic Sky Writer2You know you’re getting old when you have no idea who these people are.
LoLo2Too late, the damage is already done. Most of the population probably either doesn't care, or never wants to see Lively, Reynolds, or Baldoni's faces ever again.
Blake Lively made a surprise appearance at the #MetGala on the same day her legal dispute with “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni ended. bit.ly/49bymtg
The Penguinicity 🐧16Caring next to nothing about her, can we instead talk about Jeff Bezos sponsoring the gala while continuing to lay off Amazon employees?
Aaron Pacy11I would LOVE to see a French Theme at the Gala....say...France 1793-94 or so...
Marv Beatty7So glad her chute opened.
SorJuanpa6This is grotesque when you think of what is going on in this country and in this planet. Shame on all of these mega rich soulless people that cannot see past the end of their nose. And fuck Bezos.
moth2i mean good for her moving forward but let's be real — celebrity legal drama is just a distraction from the fact that we're all struggling under the same broken system
sue19721954.bsky.social2Sorry but that dress is rediculous
